Women and community action (revised second edition)
by Lena Dominelli
Women's role in a community's growth and development has become
increasingly important in a globalising world that has changed considerably
since the first edition of this classic text was published. In Britain, for
example, women are making a vital contribution to New
Labour's 'regeneration strategies' in local communities and are central to
the social inclusion agenda. Women are also central to sustainable
development projects in countries in the South. This revised edition
explores these developments, examining the ways in which women organise to
secure social change that enhances the quality of life at individual and
community levels. It also offers practical skills to enhance capacity
building alongside a discussion of theoretical and conceptual issues.
Aimed primarily at students of social work, community work, sociology and
social policy, practitioners and policy makers will also find the book an
invaluable resource.
Lena Dominelli is Chair of Applied Social Sciences, University of Durham,
UK. Her extensive knowledge as a practitioner, researcher and educator is
reflected in the extensive and impressive list of publications in the
fields of social work, social policy and sociology.
